God uses relationships –
especially difficult relationships –
to mold us into the image of the
loving, patient Christ.
This hymn is a prayer to help us
through such challenges.
Teach me how to love, Lord.
Teach me what to say.
Teach me how to hear their hearts,
And teach me how to pray.
Help me to be patient
As You work Your will,
Always ready to obey
And ready to be still.
Give me gentle wisdom.
Let Your Spirit speak
When my thoughts are harsh or when
I’m worried or I’m weak.
Looking to Your cross, Lord,
I can see the truth.
Just a vessel for Your love,
I trust them now to You.
